Management seminar focuses
on hardcore unemployment
Bethel College and Seminary has
played a vital role in laying the
groundwork and in rounding into
final shape a seminar that will
zero in on the problem of the
hardcore unemployed and ways
business and industry can assist
them.
The seminar will be held next
week, November 11-13, in the St.
Paul Hilton Hotel. The theme, "Top
Management's Concern for His Fel-low
Man," emphasizes the devel-opment
of human resources in ur-ban
centers. The seminar will draw
general management and person-nel
executives from across the na-tion
to discuss practical solutions
to the problem of the hardcore un-employed.
It will be a working conference
with leaders from business and in-dustry
exchanging information and
checking practical ideas for initia-ting
or improving programs from
successful corporate ventures now
in operation. A wide spectrum of
human rights representatives will
be available as resource personnel.
More than 800 management rep-resentatives
from nearly all states
are expected to attend.
Plans for the seminar were ini-tiated
by the Corporations Com-mittee,
a division of Bethel's De-velopment
Council. They secured
the joint sponsorship of the Amer-ican
Society for Personnel Admin-istration
(ASPA), a worldwide or-ganization
of personnel and indus-trial
relations executives, since the
seminar topic was of particular
concern to executives involved in
personnel work.
In helping sponsor the seminar,
Bethel hopes to make some contri-bution
in inserting Christian val-ues
into the decision making proc-esses
of the business community.
Secondly, as an academic institu-tion,
Bethel will seek to extend its
educational service into another
area. Thirdly, the college hopes to
cultivate and secure the support of
the business community.
The theme, Top Management's
Concern for His Fellow Man, runs
throughout general and small group
sessions, a case study project for
problem solving and the visual cor-porate
exhibits from successful
hardcore programs.
"The hardcore unemployment
problem has been isolated as the
key issue facing industry today,"
Loren L. Law, personnel director
of Northwestern Refining Company
and seminar general chairman,
said. Law is a member of Bethel's
Corporation Committee.
"Time and options seem to be
running out. It is business that
must take the lead," Law said. "It
is up to us to replace relief checks
with payroll checks."
Law explained that a number of
companies in the nation have suc-cessful
hardcore programs and
through this practical type seminar
can share their experience with
companies that are planning pro-grams
or that have not yet achieved
the level of success desired. He ci-ted
Control Data, Honeywell and
3M (Minnesota Mining and Manu-facturing)
as three locally based or-ganizations
that will be represent-ed
to impart experiences from go-ing
programs.

Urban League director
talks in campus sessions
Lee Bohanon
M. Leo Bohanon, director of the
Midwestern Region of the National
Urban League, discussed civil
rights concerns at several sessions
Thursday on Bethel's campus.
The featured speaker presented
addresses at the convocations of
both college and seminary. Then
he was a guest, along with Law-rence
Borom, St. Paul Urban
League director, at a noon lunch-eon
in the president's dining room.
Students and faculty were invited
to the luncheon for an informal
session, in which the two guests
answered questions on civil rights.
Bohanon also was guest speaker
in the 6:30 p.m. session of the
Negro and American Culture class.
His multi-faceted career in so-cial
work and human relations has
included posts with the Missouri
state committees on human rights
and education, the U. S. Depart-ment
of State Agency for Interna-tional
Development, the National
Board of the National Conference
on Social Welfare and director for
the United Nations Displaced Per-sons
Camps in Germany.
Bohanon formerly directed Ur-ban
League activities in Omaha and
St. Louis. He holds degrees from
the University of Minnesota with
additional studies at the Univer-sity
of Maryland and London
School of Economics.
No further information was avail-able

Five Clarion representatives
were among nearly 1,700 college
students and advisors attending the
44th annual conference of the As-sociated
Collegiate Press last week-end
in New York City.
The three-day convention was
held in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,
and was crowded with a plethora
of seminars, workshops, lectures,
and panel discussions. Short course
sequences briefed delegates on the
latest trends marking campus pub-lications;
other sessions dealt with
special problems, certain types of
writing, business and advertising
procedures, and photography.
The Clarion delegation, composed
of Lynn Bergfalk, Maurice Zaffke,
Sue Bonstrom, Margie Whaley, and
Steve Marquardt, checked into New
York Thursday evening, in time
to hear John Allen, Senior Editor
of Readers Digest bring the con-vention's
keynote address.
Although Friday and Saturday
were jammed with sessions, the
group found a few hours to sight-see.
Among attractions at the con-vention
itself was a display of
All-American college publications,
which included the Clarion, rated
as an All-American newspaper for
the spring semester of 1968.
Convention delegates were able
to witness first hand some of the
excitement of the presidential cam-paign
in its closing days as Nixon-
Agnew had set up headquarters in
the Waldorf-Astoria.
Clarion delegates stayed in the
nearby Commodore hotel, where
democratic vice-presidential candi-date
Edmund Muskie had a suite.
One of many sidelights to the
trip found Clarion editor Bergfalk
interviewed by ARN Broadcasting,
a nationally syndicated group,
about the Vietnam war, the pres-idential
election, and campus un-rest.
Clarion delegates also viewed a
street corner anti-war demonstra-tion
a few blocks from the Waldorf-
Astoria.
Big Nik Dag weekend
kicks off wild manhunt
THOSE WOMEN DRIVERS! Somehow this Volkswagen made its way into Hag-strom
residence's doorway last week during Bethel's observance of Halloween.
Monday morning the Dag barked
and the chase began. By that eve-ning
it was evident that the theme
"It's a mad, mad, mad man's
world" was rapidly changing to
"women's" world.
This year the girls have been
given the whole week to ask a fel-low
to Nik Dag, and many are con-fused
already. One room on first
floor old in Bodien has never
been busier with girls running in
and out between telephone calls.
Having to take the initiative for
once seems to present some unu-sual
and amusing problems for
the girls.
The Bethel Women's Association,
:sponsors for this year's Nik Dag,
are suggesting imaginativity. Their
program will cover only Saturday
night, November 9. A smorgasbord
in Alice's Romantic Room is
planned for Nik Dag couples, fol-lowed
by a pop group concert by
the New Horizons at 8 p.m. in a
transformed coffee shop atmos-phere
in the fieldhouse.
The New Horizons consist
mainly of students from the Uni-versity
of Minnesota. They have
been together for one year and
recently performed for the Univer-sity's
Homecoming. Under the di-rection
of Maurice Le Gault they
will sing pop music with occasional
solo work.
Saturday night's program will
be presented in three sections with
a special feature during intermis-sion.
The cost is three dollars per
couple, and refreshments can be
purchased throughout the evening.
Only one night of planned ac-tivity
with a minimal charge leaves
another night free for creativity.
The plans that have been circula-ting
for Friday night's activities
sound like the fellows should be
prepared for anything unique.

President explains
To the Editor:
One of my young colleagues on
campus asked in the last issue of
The Clarion why I chose to speak
recently in chapel on the topic of
student unrest in America today.
The ambiguity I left in his mind
may be the penalty of my coming
to the text last that particular
morning!
However, I have two hopes in
setting over against the backdrop
of the current student revolution
in America Paul's counsel to Tim-othy,
"Let no one despise your
youth, but set the believers an ex-ample
in speech and conduct, in
love, in faith, in purity." (I Timo-thy
4:12).
One is that older people will not
depreciate today's youth. While it
is true that there is a backlash in
America just now because of the
excesses of a relative few, the very
valid concerns of the younger gen-eration
must be heard. We who are
of the older generation have much
to learn from the thoughtful and
restive young people in our na-tion.

Richard Nixon took 77 percent
of the votes cast in Monday's straw
vote for President conducted by
the CLARION. Hubert Humphrey
managed to get 18 percent, Wallace
only 2.5 percent and seven others
combined a total of another 2.5
percent.
In spite of a gallant effort on
the part of those analyzing the re-sults
to make something signifi-cant
out of play, it seems apparent
that not only is Bethel admittedly
not a cross section of the national
political opinion, but that this poll
was not even a cross section of
Bethel's political opinion.
The results were based on only
352 votes of the entire student
body, 14 from the faculty and a
grand total of two from the Ad-ministration.
A boycott of Humphrey voters
added to the insignificance of the

It is unfortunate that the world
is not ready for the Ylvisakers,
but it is even more unfortunate
that the Ylvisakers are not ready
for the world. Their concert sound-ed
less like a paid performance
than a practice session which had
started with, "We'll have to work
on this for seventeen more years
before we can give it in front of
an audience, but let's run through
it once without stopping, to see
how long it takes."
Ylvisaker explained that the con-cert
would be a worship service,
but he read his parts like a South-ern
senator's rendition of the tele-phone
book in the closing hours of
a filibuster. His helper looked like
he was trying to read dramatical-ly,
but he never succeeded.

Also, I have a deep hope that
Christian collegians will find ways
to exalt Christ and to exemplify
His spirit as they express the
concerns which they hold in com-mon
with their contemporaries on
other campuses.
This calls for imaginative, re-sourceful,
and spiritually sensitive
student leadership but the results
can be one of the chief contribu-tions
of a school like Bethel to
our troubled times. Rather than
mimic the public campus, perhaps
we can discover together creative
and constructive ways by which
appropriate Christian responses
can be made to the vital issues
of our day.
Such a quest can be both exciting
and challenging, it seems to me.
And surely it will include Paul's
emphasis upon such values as love
that includes all groups of people,
faith that affirms positively, and
purity that marks interpersonal re-lationships.
Perhaps such Christian young
people—more than anyone else—
can still turn the world upside
down. And it will be done for
Christ and His glory!

poll, although the effect of this
influence is incalculable.
One quite interesting, if not ful-ly
substantiated, result of the vot-ing
was a trend away from Nixon
and Wallace to Humphrey as one
progresses from freshman through
senior to faculty. This may lend
some support to the claim that stu-dents
tend to liberalize their poli-tical
views as they serve their time
in the educational institution.
However, the percentage jump
shown in the straw vote toward
Humphrey by the faculty may have
been influenced by the fact that
only 14 bothered to vote and that
Doc Dalton admitted rounding up
the loyal HHH supporters to vote.
At best perhaps we can consider
the Straw Vote fun. Any implica-tions
beyond that rather question-able
basis for its existence seem to
arouse more complications than
accurate conclusions.
but she looked like she was hating
every minute of it. The organ often
drowned out the words.
There were awkward pauses
while the musicians regrouped for
another attack. During much of
the concert the best thing they had
going was their sixteen year old
drummer.
If John Ylvisaker wants to wage
a holy war against traditionalism
("I'll get nodules on my vocal cords
before I let the church become a
place to visit") he'll have to spend
quite a bit more time in basic
training.
His cause, though, is a worthy
one. The supposed differences be-tween
sacred and secular music do
not survive examination. Once you
have granted that, you become
bound to accept a great deal in
the church that now seems shock-ing.
The "Thanksgiving" to the
tune of "Windy" can be worshipful.
Teachers missing
To the Editor:
Many conscientiously watched
the door to see which of the ad-ministration
and faculty chose to
attend the presentation of John
Ylvisaker. A good number of the
watch must have been disappoint-ed
at the meager number which
managed to show up.
Those who teach request that
students remain open-minded so
that they may, even after gradua-tion,
adopt those things which are
significant. To be ready to adopt
something assumes that a person
is exposed to situations where that
something exists and that he un-derstands
it to some extent.
In the Fieldhouse Saturday eve-ning,
a situation existed which pre-sented
contemporary examples of
Christian musical expression. It is
indeed unfortunate that the higher
echelons somewhere above appar-ently
do not think that there are
those with a valid expression for
those living in the 20th century.

The Guthrie continues to be
amazing, and "The House of At-reus"
is its most amazing produc-tion
thus far. "Atreus" was adapt-ed
by John Lewin for the Guthrie
from the Oresteia, a trilogy of
plays by Aeschylus. It was first
put on in 1967; the demand for
tickets was so great that it was
brought back this year.
The plays are set in the ancient
Greek city of Argos. Atreus gained
the throne of Argos after a strug-gle
with his brother Thyestes. Af-ter
a period of exile Thyestes re-turned
to Argos for what he thought
was to be a feast of reconcilia-tion.
When he found that he had
been fed his two eldest sons, he
pronounced a curse on the house
of Atreus and again left the coun-try
with Aegisthus, his third son.
Atreus' throne passed to his son
Agamemnon. Helen, the wife of
Menelaus, Agamemnon's brother,
deserted her husband for Paris,
son of Priam, king of Troy. Aga-memnon
and Menelaus sailed to
Troy and placed the city under
seige, after Agamemnon had first
sacrificed his daughter in order to
allay the wrath of the goddess
Artemis, who had sent bad weather
to prevent the ships from sailing.
If that seems impossible, it's be-cause
of a cultural orientation, an
orientation that most people don't
share, and which has become a
barrier to the church's relevance.
The emotions of praise do not dif-fer
qualitatively from the ex-uberance
of some rock songs —
it's only the direction that's dif-ferent,
and the new words to "Win-dy"
can point those emotions
straight up.
The "rock mass" could have been
effective, if Ylvisaker had put out
a little and if he hadn't broken in
with unnecessary explanations and
snide comments. He chose the
songs well, and wisely used very
few that he had written himself.
But the concert was much less
impressive than last year's. Maybe,
with a lot more practice and a
little help from his friends, he'll
start knocking down barriers.
The seige lasted for ten years —
but Troy finally fell.
By the time Agamemnon re-turned
home as conquering hero,
his wife Clytemnestra (angry about
the sacrifice of her daughter) had
become far too friendly with Aegis-thus,
who had returned to Argos
to seek revenge for what Atreus
had done to Thyestes. Together
Aegisthus and Clytemnestra mur-dered
Agamemnon, and took over
the throne of Argos.
Years later Orestes, the son of
Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, re-turned
to Argos, under orders from
Apollo to kill both Aegisthus and
Clytemnestra for the murder of
Agamemnon.
He did so, but the Furies, daugh-ters
of Night, dark goddesses
whose main purpose was to avenge
those who had been wronged by
their kindred, began to hound him.
Without pity and without any re-gard
for motive, taking into ac-count
only that he had shed kin-dred
blood, they demanded retri-bution.
Orestes fled to Apollo and
asked for protection.
Apollo sent him to Athens for
a trial. The Furies acted as prose-cutors,
Apollo as defender. Citizens
of Athens were picked for the
jury, and Athena herself acted as
judge. Both sides presented their
cases brilliantly; the jury voted
and the vote was equal.
Athena cast the deciding vote.

On the speakers agenda are rep-resentatives
from business, bank-ing,

would no longer demand the shed-ding

Greek tragedy has been relega-ted
to the classroom and the nine-ty-
five cent paperback. The devices
so foreign to modern drama make
more difficult the reader's task
of wrenching the play from the
page and extracting from it an
imaginable situation with a drama-tic
effect. The Guthrie has used
all of those devices—used then' so
well that they are never distract-ing.
Men play women's parts. Apollo,
the sun god, is bright gold and
eight feet tall, with a head like
a Mayan calendar. Athena, who re-mains
seated on a throne, is even
bigger. During the first two plays
there is a chorus on stage.
All of the characters wear masks.
It is the triumph of the Guthrie
that none of this seems phoney.
"Atreus" never crosses the line
that separates drama from circus.
Nothing is overdone; everything
moves the play toward its conclu-sion.
The power of "Atreus" derives
much less from the fact of murder
than from the significance of mur-der.
Every event is the result of
powerful forces and every event
sets in motion forces even more
powerful. Men ride a tidal wave
in a ship which is almost-but-not-quite
out of control.
The gods call most of the shots,
and men are in the hands of Fate.
This gives the events a depth and
a power which would not be there
if the strings were being pulled
by human hands. It is the great-ness
of the conflicting forces that
gives the play it impact.

Bethel library
open Sunday
An overpowering urge for a nice
Sunday afternoon nap, despite
reams of homework to be done, is
sometimes a problem for Bethel
students.
But an excuse of "no place to
study" became invalid as of last
Sunday when the college library
opened its doors on Sunday for the
first time.
A heavy turnout was reported
in response to a bulletin board
placed in front of the library last
week announcing the extension of
hours on 1:30 to 5 p.m. Sundays.
More than 90 students were tak-ing
advantage of the library study
areas Sunday during the high count
at about 3 p.m. Sixty-six students
were counted at 2 p.m. and 81 at 4
p.m.
The object of opening the library
on Sundays was in response to
many requests by students and
because of crowded campus condi-tions,
according to Mrs. Carlyle
Dewey, librarian. "We haven't
heard any negative reactions yet,"
she added.
No xeroxing or research assist-ant
services will be offered on Sun-days,
Mrs. Dewey said. The li-brary
will be attended by one of
the more experienced student li-brarians.

This week's interview is with
Marjorie Int Velt, whose work with
her husband, Delmar, is concerned
principally with church planting in
the province of La Rioja, Argen-tina.
Although various methods of
evangelism are employed, they feel
that the most effective is the one-to-
one relationship of communica-ting
Christ to their friends.
Mari, how do you feel about
your college stud:es? Do you find
them relevant on the mission field?
Social Work was my college ma-jor
and I have never regretted
that choice. My experiences in So-cial
Work have been very benefi-cial
in helping and understanding
the people with whom we work.
If I could choose again, I would
add a few education courses. As

a mother who had to teach her
children, I was at a great disad-vantage
for lack of know-how.
What type of Social Work do
you and your husband do in con-nection
with evangelism?
My husband and I are not in-volved
directly as professionals
with any social work because Ar-gentina
has an emerging profession
of trained and semi-trained social
workers. We are, of course, in-volved,
as all of us should be, in
involvement in community social
problems as residents or citizens
of any country.
We realize you work with the
middle and lower class, but is there
any contact with the professional
people in La Rioja?
We have numerous opportuni-ties
to associate with the doctors,
lawyers, professors, etc. of our city.
Many of these contacts are person-al
because we seek their services,
and others we meet through com-munity
gatherings.
Through us these friends receive
the Inter-Varsity magazine "Cer-the

teza" slanted for the intellectual;
it has been well received. Very
few Bible studies have been held
in these homes due to the fact
that we do not always have the
time and personnel to get in-volved.
What advantage do you see in
studying the literature of your
adopted country?
In our contacts with the influ-ential
members of society, I felt
I was lacking in my understand-ing
of their literature and history.
Both are so much a part of their
daily lives. I felt like an outsider
because I knew so little about their
culture. I have read some litera-ture
and history of Argentina, but
now I am really serious about it
and am reading as much as I can.
My Independent Study in Span-ish
Literature at Bethel during this
furlough year is aimed at this goal.
I do not want the Argentine to re-act
negatively to me because of
my ignorance of his culture and
country in which he takes great
pride.
The move comes a week earlier
than the date set in the most re-cent
postponement last month. Ori-ginally
slated for completion by
the opening of the school year, the
target date for occupancy was then
pushed back to October 1, to Oc-tober

Intramural football has two more Saturdays of action and
both are crucial in the race for the top.
Falcon has been leading the pack for most of the season,
though they won their first game by a last minute touchdown,
and won two weeks ago by outgaining their opponents by one
foot after a tie. Two of their victories were romps of 25-0 and
31-0.
But last Saturday the Faculty upset the Falcons and
dumped them into a tie for first place with Off Campus. It
would have been a three way tie had Pit not played the spoiler
and tipped Second New on yardage.
So where does that leave us? The big game will be this
Saturday at 10:30 a.m. on the Como Avenue fields just south
of the hippodrome on the fairgrounds. Falcon and Off Campus
will square off to determine the leader.
Falcon is known for its explosive offense, primarily be-cause
of the passing and running of quarterback Dale Saxon
and the receiving of Dan Larson. However, the defenses have
been toughening up and Falcon will meet its toughest line
when Off Campus takes the field.
The Off Campus defensive line averages 225 pounds, which
would make many varsity teams jealous. And to make things
worse, these boys are all very agile.
Ralph Sheppard, a 220 pounder who played high school
football at Sioux Falls, will be starting at defensive left end.
Dave Waite, whose weight is 240, played his high school
football at tColumbia Heights, a suburb of Minneapolis. Dave
will be causing havoc from his position of right guard.
At left guard is Lloyd Rekstad, 215 pounds of football
ability from Hastings, Minnesota.
Merle Danielson, former star tackle from Ramsey High
School, will play left end. Merle weighs in at 225.
At linebacker is a Wisconsin boy, Dave Wicklund, who at
225, is quick enough to blitz effectively or guard the middle
on the short passes.
With that load of beef, Falcon may find themselves on
the ground more than on their feet. To further qualify this
intramural defensive phenomenan is the fact that all but Waite
are married.

Saturday, November 2, was per-fect
weather for football, but on
the shores of Lake Nokomis, the
Bethel and Augsburg soccer clubs
squared off for their second game
of the season. Augsburg had won
the first one by a score of 1-0,
and the Royals were intent on
revenge. Winning the toss, Bethel
elected to defend the east goal.
taking on a wind and sun disad-vantage.
In the first half, Bethel had a
hard time moving the ball ef-fectively,
and didn't threaten the
Augie goalie too often. But after
about ten minutes, the Augsburg
center neatly placed the ball
through the goal for a 1-0 lead.
As Bethel gradually started
working, they still missed scoring
opportunities.
Later in the half, an Augsburg

light Intramural schedule.
In the first game of the day pre-viously
undefeated Falcon bit the
dust as Faculty shut them out 7-0.
The Faculty TD was score on a 7-
yard pass from Trager to Andrus-ko.
Trager then threw to Bill Carl-son
for the extra point.
Third Old got back on the win-ning
track as they whitewashed
Second Old 6-0. The game was a
fine defensive battle as the winners
scored with only 45 seconds left
in the game. Lou Duhon passed 36
yards to Gary Clark for the win-ning
TD. Clark made a spectacu-lar
catch on the five and ran it
in.
In the last game played Pit sur-prised
Second New by the score of
7-6. Second New scored first on a
player booted a high kick into the
wind and sun, and Bethel goalie,
Jon Nordstrom could not see the
ball until it hit his hands in his
attempt to block the unseen sphere,
and it fell to the ground and
trickled over the goal line.
The second half showed more
promise as the wind aided full-backs
Jim Bussiere and Ron Carl-son
on their long kicks upfield.
Though Augsburg's passing was
quite often superior to Bethel's,
the home team's dribbling excelled.
Dave Schmidt and Ray Smith
dribbled the ball up into position
to feed the forward line. So while
the defense was working, the of-fense
started too.
Bethel's first goal came on a
hard, point blank kick by Dale
Lindwall on a pass from Pete Wick-lund.
The tying goal came a lit-
76-yard run by Hasselblad. The
extra point was missed. Ron Carl-son
then ran 5 yards for a touch-down
to tie the game. The game
ended tied in regulation and Pit
won by yardage in overtime.
Off Campus gained a tie for the
league lead by winning by forfeit
from winless New Dorm. First
Floor also forfeited to Third New.

Augsburg did just as Bethel had
done in the previous game as they

Bethel gridders were whipped
63-22 in their final attempt for
victory. Bemidji completely out-classed
the Royals who allowed a
seasonal high of points in a single
game this year. Losing, the Royals
were left with a record of no wins,
eight losses, and one tie.
At halftime the Royals were
trailing 28 to 16. Bemidji settled
the outcome, however, by playing
a steady second half. They netted
325 yards rushing while passing
for 102 yards. Their total of 427
yards was almost double that of
the Royals 219 yards.
The Bethel Cross Country team
ran in the NAIA district meet last
Saturday and used the event as a
triangular meet against Gustavus
and Augsburg. The results weren't
very heartening for the Royals as
Augsburg placed first with 29
points, Gustavus took second with
40, and Bethel brought up the rear
with 52 points.
Dick Olson finished first for
Bethel but placed only sixth in the
three team competition. Rich
Swanson was eighth and Bill Gei-gert,
who was sick that day, came
in ninth.
Selander and Sitte passed for
143 yards in the air. Selander hit
on 9 of 25 passes with two inter-cepted
while Sitte hit on 3 of 5
passes. Receiving, Dave Pound
grabbed 6 passes for 83 yards.
Bemidji's rushing power was
shown as 21 of their 26 first
downs came on the ground. Bethel
picked up 15 first downs.
Bethel received opening the
game but promptly rumbled on
the second play. Eight plays later
Bemidji scored on a 4-yard run.

idji scored two more TD's in the
initial quarter.
An interception by Bloom in the
second quarter set up Bethel's first
score. Eight plays later Barry An-derson
went one yard for a touch-down.
Harfst's kick made it 21-7.
With 2:33 remaining in the half
Fred Swedberg kicked a 31 yard
field goal, the first of the sea-son.
Bemidji immediately retaliated.
Going 65 yards in 6 plays, they
scored with one minute remaining.
Not to be outdone, Selander threw
a 14 yard pass to Pound with 8
seconds remaining for a TD.
Two touchdowns were scored in
the third stanze by Bemidji, mak-ing
the score 41-16.
Early in the fourth quarter a
Selander pass went astray. Five
plays later the opponents had
scored again. Bemidji then scored
their eighth TD with 4:55 remain-ing
in the game. Bethel's only sec-ond
half score came with 38 sec-onds
left.
Controlling the ball 16 plays, Se-lander
finally went over the goal
line. Bemidji was not satisfied.
Therefore on the kick off return
they went 83 yards for a ninth

Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. Friday, November 9, 1968
Newspaper staff members journey
to New York for ACP convention
Management seminar focuses
on hardcore unemployment
Bethel College and Seminary has
played a vital role in laying the
groundwork and in rounding into
final shape a seminar that will
zero in on the problem of the
hardcore unemployed and ways
business and industry can assist
them.
The seminar will be held next
week, November 11-13, in the St.
Paul Hilton Hotel. The theme, "Top
Management's Concern for His Fel-low
Man," emphasizes the devel-opment
of human resources in ur-ban
centers. The seminar will draw
general management and person-nel
executives from across the na-tion
to discuss practical solutions
to the problem of the hardcore un-employed.
It will be a working conference
with leaders from business and in-dustry
exchanging information and
checking practical ideas for initia-ting
or improving programs from
successful corporate ventures now
in operation. A wide spectrum of
human rights representatives will
be available as resource personnel.
More than 800 management rep-resentatives
from nearly all states
are expected to attend.
Plans for the seminar were ini-tiated
by the Corporations Com-mittee,
a division of Bethel's De-velopment
Council. They secured
the joint sponsorship of the Amer-ican
Society for Personnel Admin-istration
(ASPA), a worldwide or-ganization
of personnel and indus-trial
relations executives, since the
seminar topic was of particular
concern to executives involved in
personnel work.
In helping sponsor the seminar,
Bethel hopes to make some contri-bution
in inserting Christian val-ues
into the decision making proc-esses
of the business community.
Secondly, as an academic institu-tion,
Bethel will seek to extend its
educational service into another
area. Thirdly, the college hopes to
cultivate and secure the support of
the business community.
The theme, Top Management's
Concern for His Fellow Man, runs
throughout general and small group
sessions, a case study project for
problem solving and the visual cor-porate
exhibits from successful
hardcore programs.
"The hardcore unemployment
problem has been isolated as the
key issue facing industry today,"
Loren L. Law, personnel director
of Northwestern Refining Company
and seminar general chairman,
said. Law is a member of Bethel's
Corporation Committee.
"Time and options seem to be
running out. It is business that
must take the lead," Law said. "It
is up to us to replace relief checks
with payroll checks."
Law explained that a number of
companies in the nation have suc-cessful
hardcore programs and
through this practical type seminar
can share their experience with
companies that are planning pro-grams
or that have not yet achieved
the level of success desired. He ci-ted
Control Data, Honeywell and
3M (Minnesota Mining and Manu-facturing)
as three locally based or-ganizations
that will be represent-ed
to impart experiences from go-ing
programs.

Urban League director
talks in campus sessions
Lee Bohanon
M. Leo Bohanon, director of the
Midwestern Region of the National
Urban League, discussed civil
rights concerns at several sessions
Thursday on Bethel's campus.
The featured speaker presented
addresses at the convocations of
both college and seminary. Then
he was a guest, along with Law-rence
Borom, St. Paul Urban
League director, at a noon lunch-eon
in the president's dining room.
Students and faculty were invited
to the luncheon for an informal
session, in which the two guests
answered questions on civil rights.
Bohanon also was guest speaker
in the 6:30 p.m. session of the
Negro and American Culture class.
His multi-faceted career in so-cial
work and human relations has
included posts with the Missouri
state committees on human rights
and education, the U. S. Depart-ment
of State Agency for Interna-tional
Development, the National
Board of the National Conference
on Social Welfare and director for
the United Nations Displaced Per-sons
Camps in Germany.
Bohanon formerly directed Ur-ban
League activities in Omaha and
St. Louis. He holds degrees from
the University of Minnesota with
additional studies at the Univer-sity
of Maryland and London
School of Economics.
No further information was avail-able

Five Clarion representatives
were among nearly 1,700 college
students and advisors attending the
44th annual conference of the As-sociated
Collegiate Press last week-end
in New York City.
The three-day convention was
held in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,
and was crowded with a plethora
of seminars, workshops, lectures,
and panel discussions. Short course
sequences briefed delegates on the
latest trends marking campus pub-lications;
other sessions dealt with
special problems, certain types of
writing, business and advertising
procedures, and photography.
The Clarion delegation, composed
of Lynn Bergfalk, Maurice Zaffke,
Sue Bonstrom, Margie Whaley, and
Steve Marquardt, checked into New
York Thursday evening, in time
to hear John Allen, Senior Editor
of Readers Digest bring the con-vention's
keynote address.
Although Friday and Saturday
were jammed with sessions, the
group found a few hours to sight-see.
Among attractions at the con-vention
itself was a display of
All-American college publications,
which included the Clarion, rated
as an All-American newspaper for
the spring semester of 1968.
Convention delegates were able
to witness first hand some of the
excitement of the presidential cam-paign
in its closing days as Nixon-
Agnew had set up headquarters in
the Waldorf-Astoria.
Clarion delegates stayed in the
nearby Commodore hotel, where
democratic vice-presidential candi-date
Edmund Muskie had a suite.
One of many sidelights to the
trip found Clarion editor Bergfalk
interviewed by ARN Broadcasting,
a nationally syndicated group,
about the Vietnam war, the pres-idential
election, and campus un-rest.
Clarion delegates also viewed a
street corner anti-war demonstra-tion
a few blocks from the Waldorf-
Astoria.
Big Nik Dag weekend
kicks off wild manhunt
THOSE WOMEN DRIVERS! Somehow this Volkswagen made its way into Hag-strom
residence's doorway last week during Bethel's observance of Halloween.
Monday morning the Dag barked
and the chase began. By that eve-ning
it was evident that the theme
"It's a mad, mad, mad man's
world" was rapidly changing to
"women's" world.
This year the girls have been
given the whole week to ask a fel-low
to Nik Dag, and many are con-fused
already. One room on first
floor old in Bodien has never
been busier with girls running in
and out between telephone calls.
Having to take the initiative for
once seems to present some unu-sual
and amusing problems for
the girls.
The Bethel Women's Association,
:sponsors for this year's Nik Dag,
are suggesting imaginativity. Their
program will cover only Saturday
night, November 9. A smorgasbord
in Alice's Romantic Room is
planned for Nik Dag couples, fol-lowed
by a pop group concert by
the New Horizons at 8 p.m. in a
transformed coffee shop atmos-phere
in the fieldhouse.
The New Horizons consist
mainly of students from the Uni-versity
of Minnesota. They have
been together for one year and
recently performed for the Univer-sity's
Homecoming. Under the di-rection
of Maurice Le Gault they
will sing pop music with occasional
solo work.
Saturday night's program will
be presented in three sections with
a special feature during intermis-sion.
The cost is three dollars per
couple, and refreshments can be
purchased throughout the evening.
Only one night of planned ac-tivity
with a minimal charge leaves
another night free for creativity.
The plans that have been circula-ting
for Friday night's activities
sound like the fellows should be
prepared for anything unique.

President explains
To the Editor:
One of my young colleagues on
campus asked in the last issue of
The Clarion why I chose to speak
recently in chapel on the topic of
student unrest in America today.
The ambiguity I left in his mind
may be the penalty of my coming
to the text last that particular
morning!
However, I have two hopes in
setting over against the backdrop
of the current student revolution
in America Paul's counsel to Tim-othy,
"Let no one despise your
youth, but set the believers an ex-ample
in speech and conduct, in
love, in faith, in purity." (I Timo-thy
4:12).
One is that older people will not
depreciate today's youth. While it
is true that there is a backlash in
America just now because of the
excesses of a relative few, the very
valid concerns of the younger gen-eration
must be heard. We who are
of the older generation have much
to learn from the thoughtful and
restive young people in our na-tion.

Richard Nixon took 77 percent
of the votes cast in Monday's straw
vote for President conducted by
the CLARION. Hubert Humphrey
managed to get 18 percent, Wallace
only 2.5 percent and seven others
combined a total of another 2.5
percent.
In spite of a gallant effort on
the part of those analyzing the re-sults
to make something signifi-cant
out of play, it seems apparent
that not only is Bethel admittedly
not a cross section of the national
political opinion, but that this poll
was not even a cross section of
Bethel's political opinion.
The results were based on only
352 votes of the entire student
body, 14 from the faculty and a
grand total of two from the Ad-ministration.
A boycott of Humphrey voters
added to the insignificance of the

It is unfortunate that the world
is not ready for the Ylvisakers,
but it is even more unfortunate
that the Ylvisakers are not ready
for the world. Their concert sound-ed
less like a paid performance
than a practice session which had
started with, "We'll have to work
on this for seventeen more years
before we can give it in front of
an audience, but let's run through
it once without stopping, to see
how long it takes."
Ylvisaker explained that the con-cert
would be a worship service,
but he read his parts like a South-ern
senator's rendition of the tele-phone
book in the closing hours of
a filibuster. His helper looked like
he was trying to read dramatical-ly,
but he never succeeded.

Also, I have a deep hope that
Christian collegians will find ways
to exalt Christ and to exemplify
His spirit as they express the
concerns which they hold in com-mon
with their contemporaries on
other campuses.
This calls for imaginative, re-sourceful,
and spiritually sensitive
student leadership but the results
can be one of the chief contribu-tions
of a school like Bethel to
our troubled times. Rather than
mimic the public campus, perhaps
we can discover together creative
and constructive ways by which
appropriate Christian responses
can be made to the vital issues
of our day.
Such a quest can be both exciting
and challenging, it seems to me.
And surely it will include Paul's
emphasis upon such values as love
that includes all groups of people,
faith that affirms positively, and
purity that marks interpersonal re-lationships.
Perhaps such Christian young
people—more than anyone else—
can still turn the world upside
down. And it will be done for
Christ and His glory!

poll, although the effect of this
influence is incalculable.
One quite interesting, if not ful-ly
substantiated, result of the vot-ing
was a trend away from Nixon
and Wallace to Humphrey as one
progresses from freshman through
senior to faculty. This may lend
some support to the claim that stu-dents
tend to liberalize their poli-tical
views as they serve their time
in the educational institution.
However, the percentage jump
shown in the straw vote toward
Humphrey by the faculty may have
been influenced by the fact that
only 14 bothered to vote and that
Doc Dalton admitted rounding up
the loyal HHH supporters to vote.
At best perhaps we can consider
the Straw Vote fun. Any implica-tions
beyond that rather question-able
basis for its existence seem to
arouse more complications than
accurate conclusions.
but she looked like she was hating
every minute of it. The organ often
drowned out the words.
There were awkward pauses
while the musicians regrouped for
another attack. During much of
the concert the best thing they had
going was their sixteen year old
drummer.
If John Ylvisaker wants to wage
a holy war against traditionalism
("I'll get nodules on my vocal cords
before I let the church become a
place to visit") he'll have to spend
quite a bit more time in basic
training.
His cause, though, is a worthy
one. The supposed differences be-tween
sacred and secular music do
not survive examination. Once you
have granted that, you become
bound to accept a great deal in
the church that now seems shock-ing.
The "Thanksgiving" to the
tune of "Windy" can be worshipful.
Teachers missing
To the Editor:
Many conscientiously watched
the door to see which of the ad-ministration
and faculty chose to
attend the presentation of John
Ylvisaker. A good number of the
watch must have been disappoint-ed
at the meager number which
managed to show up.
Those who teach request that
students remain open-minded so
that they may, even after gradua-tion,
adopt those things which are
significant. To be ready to adopt
something assumes that a person
is exposed to situations where that
something exists and that he un-derstands
it to some extent.
In the Fieldhouse Saturday eve-ning,
a situation existed which pre-sented
contemporary examples of
Christian musical expression. It is
indeed unfortunate that the higher
echelons somewhere above appar-ently
do not think that there are
those with a valid expression for
those living in the 20th century.
P. Buell, Junior
by Chuck Mybro
The Guthrie continues to be
amazing, and "The House of At-reus"
is its most amazing produc-tion
thus far. "Atreus" was adapt-ed
by John Lewin for the Guthrie
from the Oresteia, a trilogy of
plays by Aeschylus. It was first
put on in 1967; the demand for
tickets was so great that it was
brought back this year.
The plays are set in the ancient
Greek city of Argos. Atreus gained
the throne of Argos after a strug-gle
with his brother Thyestes. Af-ter
a period of exile Thyestes re-turned
to Argos for what he thought
was to be a feast of reconcilia-tion.
When he found that he had
been fed his two eldest sons, he
pronounced a curse on the house
of Atreus and again left the coun-try
with Aegisthus, his third son.
Atreus' throne passed to his son
Agamemnon. Helen, the wife of
Menelaus, Agamemnon's brother,
deserted her husband for Paris,
son of Priam, king of Troy. Aga-memnon
and Menelaus sailed to
Troy and placed the city under
seige, after Agamemnon had first
sacrificed his daughter in order to
allay the wrath of the goddess
Artemis, who had sent bad weather
to prevent the ships from sailing.
If that seems impossible, it's be-cause
of a cultural orientation, an
orientation that most people don't
share, and which has become a
barrier to the church's relevance.
The emotions of praise do not dif-fer
qualitatively from the ex-uberance
of some rock songs —
it's only the direction that's dif-ferent,
and the new words to "Win-dy"
can point those emotions
straight up.
The "rock mass" could have been
effective, if Ylvisaker had put out
a little and if he hadn't broken in
with unnecessary explanations and
snide comments. He chose the
songs well, and wisely used very
few that he had written himself.
But the concert was much less
impressive than last year's. Maybe,
with a lot more practice and a
little help from his friends, he'll
start knocking down barriers.
The seige lasted for ten years —
but Troy finally fell.
By the time Agamemnon re-turned
home as conquering hero,
his wife Clytemnestra (angry about
the sacrifice of her daughter) had
become far too friendly with Aegis-thus,
who had returned to Argos
to seek revenge for what Atreus
had done to Thyestes. Together
Aegisthus and Clytemnestra mur-dered
Agamemnon, and took over
the throne of Argos.
Years later Orestes, the son of
Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, re-turned
to Argos, under orders from
Apollo to kill both Aegisthus and
Clytemnestra for the murder of
Agamemnon.
He did so, but the Furies, daugh-ters
of Night, dark goddesses
whose main purpose was to avenge
those who had been wronged by
their kindred, began to hound him.
Without pity and without any re-gard
for motive, taking into ac-count
only that he had shed kin-dred
blood, they demanded retri-bution.
Orestes fled to Apollo and
asked for protection.
Apollo sent him to Athens for
a trial. The Furies acted as prose-cutors,
Apollo as defender. Citizens
of Athens were picked for the
jury, and Athena herself acted as
judge. Both sides presented their
cases brilliantly; the jury voted
and the vote was equal.
Athena cast the deciding vote.

On the speakers agenda are rep-resentatives

Greek tragedy has been relega-ted
to the classroom and the nine-ty-
five cent paperback. The devices
so foreign to modern drama make
more difficult the reader's task
of wrenching the play from the
page and extracting from it an
imaginable situation with a drama-tic
effect. The Guthrie has used
all of those devices—used then' so
well that they are never distract-ing.
Men play women's parts. Apollo,
the sun god, is bright gold and
eight feet tall, with a head like
a Mayan calendar. Athena, who re-mains
seated on a throne, is even
bigger. During the first two plays
there is a chorus on stage.
All of the characters wear masks.
It is the triumph of the Guthrie
that none of this seems phoney.
"Atreus" never crosses the line
that separates drama from circus.
Nothing is overdone; everything
moves the play toward its conclu-sion.
The power of "Atreus" derives
much less from the fact of murder
than from the significance of mur-der.
Every event is the result of
powerful forces and every event
sets in motion forces even more
powerful. Men ride a tidal wave
in a ship which is almost-but-not-quite
out of control.
The gods call most of the shots,
and men are in the hands of Fate.
This gives the events a depth and
a power which would not be there
if the strings were being pulled
by human hands. It is the great-ness
of the conflicting forces that
gives the play it impact.

Bethel library
open Sunday
An overpowering urge for a nice
Sunday afternoon nap, despite
reams of homework to be done, is
sometimes a problem for Bethel
students.
But an excuse of "no place to
study" became invalid as of last
Sunday when the college library
opened its doors on Sunday for the
first time.
A heavy turnout was reported
in response to a bulletin board
placed in front of the library last
week announcing the extension of
hours on 1:30 to 5 p.m. Sundays.
More than 90 students were tak-ing
advantage of the library study
areas Sunday during the high count
at about 3 p.m. Sixty-six students
were counted at 2 p.m. and 81 at 4
p.m.
The object of opening the library
on Sundays was in response to
many requests by students and
because of crowded campus condi-tions,
according to Mrs. Carlyle
Dewey, librarian. "We haven't
heard any negative reactions yet,"
she added.
No xeroxing or research assist-ant
services will be offered on Sun-days,
Mrs. Dewey said. The li-brary
will be attended by one of
the more experienced student li-brarians.

action is. Very schussy, Very mas-culine,

This week's interview is with
Marjorie Int Velt, whose work with
her husband, Delmar, is concerned
principally with church planting in
the province of La Rioja, Argen-tina.
Although various methods of
evangelism are employed, they feel
that the most effective is the one-to-
one relationship of communica-ting
Christ to their friends.
Mari, how do you feel about
your college stud:es? Do you find
them relevant on the mission field?
Social Work was my college ma-jor
and I have never regretted
that choice. My experiences in So-cial
Work have been very benefi-cial
in helping and understanding
the people with whom we work.
If I could choose again, I would
add a few education courses. As

a mother who had to teach her
children, I was at a great disad-vantage
for lack of know-how.
What type of Social Work do
you and your husband do in con-nection
with evangelism?
My husband and I are not in-volved
directly as professionals
with any social work because Ar-gentina
has an emerging profession
of trained and semi-trained social
workers. We are, of course, in-volved,
as all of us should be, in
involvement in community social
problems as residents or citizens
of any country.
We realize you work with the
middle and lower class, but is there
any contact with the professional
people in La Rioja?
We have numerous opportuni-ties
to associate with the doctors,
lawyers, professors, etc. of our city.
Many of these contacts are person-al
because we seek their services,
and others we meet through com-munity
gatherings.
Through us these friends receive
the Inter-Varsity magazine "Cer-the
CLARION Page 3
teza" slanted for the intellectual;
it has been well received. Very
few Bible studies have been held
in these homes due to the fact
that we do not always have the
time and personnel to get in-volved.
What advantage do you see in
studying the literature of your
adopted country?
In our contacts with the influ-ential
members of society, I felt
I was lacking in my understand-ing
of their literature and history.
Both are so much a part of their
daily lives. I felt like an outsider
because I knew so little about their
culture. I have read some litera-ture
and history of Argentina, but
now I am really serious about it
and am reading as much as I can.
My Independent Study in Span-ish
Literature at Bethel during this
furlough year is aimed at this goal.
I do not want the Argentine to re-act
negatively to me because of
my ignorance of his culture and
country in which he takes great
pride.
The move comes a week earlier
than the date set in the most re-cent
postponement last month. Ori-ginally
slated for completion by
the opening of the school year, the
target date for occupancy was then
pushed back to October 1, to Oc-tober

Soccer club players discuss strategy during half-time break. Last Saturday the
Royals topped Augsburg 1-0 on a second half goal by Dale Lindwall.
Soccer club comeback tips Augsburg
Seddiete
Symposium
by Wally Borner
Intramural football has two more Saturdays of action and
both are crucial in the race for the top.
Falcon has been leading the pack for most of the season,
though they won their first game by a last minute touchdown,
and won two weeks ago by outgaining their opponents by one
foot after a tie. Two of their victories were romps of 25-0 and
31-0.
But last Saturday the Faculty upset the Falcons and
dumped them into a tie for first place with Off Campus. It
would have been a three way tie had Pit not played the spoiler
and tipped Second New on yardage.
So where does that leave us? The big game will be this
Saturday at 10:30 a.m. on the Como Avenue fields just south
of the hippodrome on the fairgrounds. Falcon and Off Campus
will square off to determine the leader.
Falcon is known for its explosive offense, primarily be-cause
of the passing and running of quarterback Dale Saxon
and the receiving of Dan Larson. However, the defenses have
been toughening up and Falcon will meet its toughest line
when Off Campus takes the field.
The Off Campus defensive line averages 225 pounds, which
would make many varsity teams jealous. And to make things
worse, these boys are all very agile.
Ralph Sheppard, a 220 pounder who played high school
football at Sioux Falls, will be starting at defensive left end.
Dave Waite, whose weight is 240, played his high school
football at tColumbia Heights, a suburb of Minneapolis. Dave
will be causing havoc from his position of right guard.
At left guard is Lloyd Rekstad, 215 pounds of football
ability from Hastings, Minnesota.
Merle Danielson, former star tackle from Ramsey High
School, will play left end. Merle weighs in at 225.
At linebacker is a Wisconsin boy, Dave Wicklund, who at
225, is quick enough to blitz effectively or guard the middle
on the short passes.
With that load of beef, Falcon may find themselves on
the ground more than on their feet. To further qualify this
intramural defensive phenomenan is the fact that all but Waite
are married.

Saturday, November 2, was per-fect
weather for football, but on
the shores of Lake Nokomis, the

squared off for their second game
of the season. Augsburg had won
the first one by a score of 1-0,
and the Royals were intent on
revenge. Winning the toss, Bethel
elected to defend the east goal.
taking on a wind and sun disad-vantage.
In the first half, Bethel had a
hard time moving the ball ef-fectively,
and didn't threaten the
Augie goalie too often. But after
about ten minutes, the Augsburg
center neatly placed the ball
through the goal for a 1-0 lead.
As Bethel gradually started
working, they still missed scoring
opportunities.
Later in the half, an Augsburg
Upsets highlighted last Satur-day's
light Intramural schedule.
In the first game of the day pre-viously
undefeated Falcon bit the
dust as Faculty shut them out 7-0.
The Faculty TD was score on a 7-
yard pass from Trager to Andrus-ko.
Trager then threw to Bill Carl-son
for the extra point.
Third Old got back on the win-ning
track as they whitewashed
Second Old 6-0. The game was a
fine defensive battle as the winners
scored with only 45 seconds left
in the game. Lou Duhon passed 36
yards to Gary Clark for the win-ning
TD. Clark made a spectacu-lar
catch on the five and ran it
in.
In the last game played Pit sur-prised
Second New by the score of
7-6. Second New scored first on a
player booted a high kick into the
wind and sun, and Bethel goalie,
Jon Nordstrom could not see the
ball until it hit his hands in his
attempt to block the unseen sphere,
and it fell to the ground and
trickled over the goal line.
The second half showed more
promise as the wind aided full-backs
Jim Bussiere and Ron Carl-son
on their long kicks upfield.
Though Augsburg's passing was
quite often superior to Bethel's,
the home team's dribbling excelled.
Dave Schmidt and Ray Smith
dribbled the ball up into position
to feed the forward line. So while
the defense was working, the of-fense
started too.
Bethel's first goal came on a
hard, point blank kick by Dale
Lindwall on a pass from Pete Wick-lund.
The tying goal came a lit-
76-yard run by Hasselblad. The
extra point was missed. Ron Carl-son
then ran 5 yards for a touch-down
to tie the game. The game
ended tied in regulation and Pit
won by yardage in overtime.
Off Campus gained a tie for the
league lead by winning by forfeit
from winless New Dorm. First
Floor also forfeited to Third New.

Bethel gridders were whipped
63-22 in their final attempt for
victory. Bemidji completely out-classed
the Royals who allowed a
seasonal high of points in a single
game this year. Losing, the Royals
were left with a record of no wins,
eight losses, and one tie.
At halftime the Royals were
trailing 28 to 16. Bemidji settled
the outcome, however, by playing
a steady second half. They netted
325 yards rushing while passing
for 102 yards. Their total of 427
yards was almost double that of
the Royals 219 yards.
The Bethel Cross Country team
ran in the NAIA district meet last
Saturday and used the event as a
triangular meet against Gustavus
and Augsburg. The results weren't
very heartening for the Royals as
Augsburg placed first with 29
points, Gustavus took second with
40, and Bethel brought up the rear
with 52 points.
Dick Olson finished first for
Bethel but placed only sixth in the
three team competition. Rich
Swanson was eighth and Bill Gei-gert,
who was sick that day, came
in ninth.
Selander and Sitte passed for
143 yards in the air. Selander hit
on 9 of 25 passes with two inter-cepted
while Sitte hit on 3 of 5
passes. Receiving, Dave Pound
grabbed 6 passes for 83 yards.
Bemidji's rushing power was
shown as 21 of their 26 first
downs came on the ground. Bethel
picked up 15 first downs.
Bethel received opening the
game but promptly rumbled on
the second play. Eight plays later
Bemidji scored on a 4-yard run.
Continuing to capitalize on Beth-el's
inability to move the ball, Bern-
Four other teams competed in
the meet, with a St. Thomas run-ner
taking first place on the four

minutes after him.

be running in the Northwest Open,
which will be held at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota Golf Course at

idji scored two more TD's in the
initial quarter.
An interception by Bloom in the
second quarter set up Bethel's first
score. Eight plays later Barry An-derson
went one yard for a touch-down.
Harfst's kick made it 21-7.
With 2:33 remaining in the half
Fred Swedberg kicked a 31 yard
field goal, the first of the sea-son.
Bemidji immediately retaliated.
Going 65 yards in 6 plays, they
scored with one minute remaining.
Not to be outdone, Selander threw
a 14 yard pass to Pound with 8
seconds remaining for a TD.
Two touchdowns were scored in
the third stanze by Bemidji, mak-ing
the score 41-16.
Early in the fourth quarter a
Selander pass went astray. Five
plays later the opponents had
scored again. Bemidji then scored
their eighth TD with 4:55 remain-ing
in the game. Bethel's only sec-ond
half score came with 38 sec-onds
left.
Controlling the ball 16 plays, Se-lander
finally went over the goal
line. Bemidji was not satisfied.
Therefore on the kick off return
they went 83 yards for a ninth
touchdown. Tim Weko, standing on
the sidelines, showed the frustra-tion
of the Royals by nearly tack-ling
the opponent as he went by.
